hehe, cool.
I wonder how hot it gets when it's closed though. Doesn't seem to have much cooling going on.

That would be funny if that thing just burst into flames the second he turned it on.

that is a fucking abomination. not because it's ugly or tacky or even aimed a the dorkier end of the christian spectrum, but because it violates every precept about form following function. call it my bauhaus-influenced upbringing, but i hate that

What if the function is disguise and subversion?

I think you're just approaching the intentions wrongly.

What makes you think that? I don't see anything pointing at this being religious blah blah.

He made it because his dad is a paster. And how exactly does it violate every precept about form following function?

paster: n 1: a workman who pastes

interesting anyway i agree with you.

it's a pc disguised as a book, so the form doesn't follow the function. like one of those telephones that look like figurines

So this isn't actually an opinion about this particular piece, it's about case modding in general.

but why is it a "fucking abomination"? its fine, its artistic, it works. i can understand if you dont like it for your artistic beliefs or whatever, but i just dont get why so terrible.

surely just because you were schooled in a certain way doesn't mean that you cant appreciate something thats different right?

And that book happens to be a very large box shape with wires coming out of it. I understand what you are saying but I'm just not a form/function kind of guy.

well yeah, generally i find case modding pointless, but this is particularly tacky effort

like riddla said: kitsch

i just find attempts to conceal the true functions of things (and call it art ffs) slightly disturbing, like it's indicative of a flight from reality

its artistic

if it's artistic then what in your opinion is the 'artist' saying?

[Ryoki]

I'm out of form, but i still function.

[MKJ]

the term 'function' should be taken lightly, though

[vesp]

artists :lol:

pretentious cocks :lol:
